    %COMPETE COOPERATE TOGETHER CONFLICT RESOLUTION 940610

    Human  peace  and tranquility are often  destroyed  by
people who seem unable to understand human equality in any
meaningful  way.    To them competition is the essence  of
being human.   They are compulsively concerned with  being
better in an exclusive way, and having the right to reject
those  who  are  not  the best.    Such  people  excel  in
arrogance  rather  than humility; in discrimination rather
than in fellowship.

    Human equality does not  pertain  to the qualities and
achievements of humans, but to being humane with humility.

    Humans  who  treat each other as equals are not  under
the impression that they are identical to each other. They
are humane and inclusive in  their  attitudes towards each
other---regarding  each other as different expressions  of
their  own cosmic unity.  They do not regard each other as
essentially  separate  objects;   but rather as  different
expressions   of   an  essential  spiritual  unity   which
transcends petty human distinctions.

    Human  equality  is  related to the fact  that at  the
beginning time all that is now, was together in one cosmic
unity in one place and time.   All humans have one  cosmic
origin,  rather than multiple origins; have separated from
one cosmic unity, rather than come together from  separate
conflicting origins.

    The  quality of reflexive human  relationships  depend
 upon  human  attitudes  which  are  reflective  of  human
awareness of, or indifference towards, the cosmic unity of
human  origins.    If human relationships are dominated by
attitudes   of   objective separation and  of  conflict---
then  union  is  not  likely  to  be  enjoyed.   If  human
relationships are guided by attitudes which are reflective
of   a  cosmic  spiritual  unity  which  is  expressed  in
objective  reality---then reunion is likely to be  enjoyed
in communion services of equality.

As  people   seek  peace and tranquility what  they   find
depends   greatly   upon   what attitudes they  bring   to
their  seeking,   how  they regard  each  other  in  their
reunions, and whether they come together in competition or
in cooperation.
